Attention is manifested by an attentional bottleneck, in terms of the amount of data the brain can process each second for example, in human vision, only less than 1% of the visual input data (at around one megabyte per second) can enter the bottleneck, leading to inattentional blindness. Focalization, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence." Attention has also been described as the allocation of limited cognitive processing resources. William James (1890) wrote that "Attention is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. It is a process of selectively concentrating on a discrete aspect of information, whether considered subjective or objective. Would today's GOP try to ban Mister Rogers for being woke? Probably.Attention is the concentration of awareness on some phenomenon to the exclusion of other stimuli. US debt ceiling crisis can be explained in three words: Marjorie Taylor Greene The Republican Party has become the very cancel culture it pretends to rail against I'm sure the most racially and ethnically diverse generation of all time will be fine with this attempt to case diversity as something unnecessary and nefarious. Oh, and also General Motors, Amazon, Publix, Bass Pro Shops and Molson Coors.Īnd pretty much every company. OK, maybe some employers care about diversity, equity and inclusion It’s not like any employers out there already have established diversity, equity and inclusion programs or a strong focus on embracing the diversity of their customers.Įxcept maybe for Coca-Cola, Kaiser Permanente, Lenovo, Mastercard, Accenture, Navartis, L’Oreal, Salesforce, Bain Capital, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Caribou, Duolingo, GoDaddy, Glassdoor, Northrop Grumman, Northwestern Mutual, Paramount, See’s Candies, Snapchat, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Kroger, Under Armour, Western Union, General Mills, Verizon, Levi Strauss and Co., Procter & Gamble, Intel, Williams-Sonoma, Citigroup, Humana, Clorox, Progressive and TD Bank. Soon students graduating from Florida’s public universities will be able to proudly cheer, “We learned the basics!” Because if there’s one thing employers are looking for in fresh-out-of-college hires, it’s the bare minimum.Īlong with defunding DEI offices, the bill DeSantis signed will also curtail how universities teach race and gender, because what even are those things, amirite?ĭon't worry, Florida college students, everything's going to be all-white!īy making it harder for Florida university students to learn about the so-called “realities” of the so-called “real world,” and by eliminating troublesome DEI programs that might force a straight, white, male student to sense that other people matter, DeSantis can all but guarantee these young people jobs. Under the new DeSantis law, Florida college students will only learn 'the basics' Might as well not say 'president' either. But it's just a PR move.ĭeSantis expands 'Don't Say Gay' law: Florida governor expands anti-LGBTQ law. Disney is just a stunt: Ron DeSantis says he's fighting 'woke' companies like Disney. That same Pew study found Gen Z students “are on track to be the most well-educated generation yet,” but don’t worry, DeSantis has a plan to short-circuit that as well.Īt Tuesday’s bill signing, as he was assailing the audacity of understanding others, the governor said he wants to get rid of all this pesky diversity and inclusion hoo-hah because: “We don’t want to be diverted into these niche subjects that are heavily politicized, we want to focus on the basics.”ĭeSantis vs. That means those youths are bound to be opposed to diversity, equity and inclusion, white?

Ron DeSantis, Florida’s governor, did the white thing Monday, signing a bill that pulls all state funding from diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the state’s public universities.įor people who have never once had to worry about or value diversity, equity or inclusion, this was definitely the white move. ![]()
